Jugendstil Ex-Libris
This study of bookplates arises from the late nineteenth century to early twentieth century art of the "Art Nouveau" and "Art Deco" eras. The themes of these eras are also often reflected in more contemporary artworks.
The works of
Koloman Moser reflect the themes of this era and the Wiener Werkstaette.
